(Atlantic) Cass County Health System (CCHS) and its affiliate organizations have released their scholarship applications for the upcoming school year, including a new scholarship designated for nursing.
“CCHS is proud to be actively involved with the education of the next generation of nurses by serving as a clinical site for local and regional nursing programs. The addition of this scholarship is just one more way to positively contribute to the future of nursing. There is no better place to make that investment than in our rural communities, where we know students and their families have experienced the importance of high-quality rural healthcare. It is our goal to retain our best and brightest talents right here at home,” said CCHS Chief Nursing Officer Amanda Bireline.
